A vote for coral reefs is a vote for all ocean life.
PIMS is in a video contest against a shark research team from Florida Atlantic University to win time on a scientific research vessel.
Our goal? To monitor and restore coral reefs in The Bahamas.
We have decades of experience studying and preserving coral reefs; from actively growing and outplanting Critically Endangered coral species, to conserving iconic fisheries like the Nassau grouper, to engaging local communities and training future ocean leaders.
Please take a minute to vote for us, Team Coral! All proceeds go to the ANGARI Foundation, the Florida-based non-profit that owns the ship ANGARI, which enables us to do exceptional coral reef research in The Caribbean and The Bahamas.
Check out our video below (our pitch begins at 2:56)! And cast your vote here today.
